So: why on Earth use a place-name lookup on someone else’s map service to reproduce the information?

Because: "Apple. Hurhur. IPhone. Apple IPhone.Hurhurhur. Urg. Hurhur. Yeah. IPhone"
Because everything, EVERYTHING, has to be an IPhone app or be compatible with an IPhone these days.
Want to buy a torch to walk the dog? "Will it* work with my IPhone?"
"I want a kettle, but it has to have a Lightning connector."
"I was told to buy an 'AirPort', so that I wouldn't have any problems when I buy an IPhone in the future"
"I'm sure there's an app in the Apple AppStore to jumpstart my flat car over bluetooth."
The force of persuasion that the malic logo makes a product peerless is strong.
